Newly choreographed by Artistic Director Sang Jijia, the work harnesses his signature high-energy physicality and integrates multimedia stage vocabulary to dissect, layer by layer, the subtle relationships between space and body. The piece creates a field for perceiving multiple dimensions of “space,” inviting audiences into boundless philosophical reflection. The production runs from 28 February to 1 March 2026 at The Hall, East Kowloon Cultural Centre. Tickets are now on sale through URBTIX, Art-mate, and Damai. Stage Design Merges Installation and Video: Entering a Reimagined Space Under the creative vision of Sang Jijia, alongside lighting and stage designer Lawmanray, the stage transforms fluidly—as if reconfiguring at will. Layered with video design by Oliver Shing, projections oscillate between the tangible and the ephemeral. Dancers navigate, interact with, and occasionally withdraw from installations and imagery. Body, installation, and video construct infinite spatial possibilities together. Logic constantly fractures and reforms. Through this interplay, audiences experience space anew—and with it, a deepened awareness of the human presence within it. Stellar Creative Team: Envisioning Boundless Possibilities Under Artistic Director Sang Jijia’s vision, the work draws together dramaturg Melissa Leung’s structural clarity, unfolding a systematic exploration across three dimensions: body, space, and perception. Composer Dickson Dee, an acclaimed music producer invited by the Venice Biennale, creates the score through experimental sonic vocabularies that respond to how space shapes psychological perception. CCDC’s resident lighting designer, Lawmanray, anchors stage and lighting design in spatial density and visual tension, creating dynamic dialogue with video designer Oliver Shing’s kinetic imagery, progressively establishing a multi-layered perceptual architecture. Costume designer Silvio Chan approaches the work from the constraints and
